Special thanks to Richard Williamson for creating the first
implementation of canvas in
Safari, from which the canvas feature was designed.

Special thanks also to the Microsoft employees who first
implemented the event-based drag-and-drop mechanism, contenteditable , and other features
first widely deployed by the Windows Internet Explorer browser.

Special thanks and $10,000 to David Hyatt who came up with a
broken implementation of the adoption
agency algorithm that the editor had to reverse engineer and
fix before using it in the parsing section.

Thanks to the many sources that provided
inspiration for the examples used in the specification.

Thanks also to the Microsoft blogging community for some
ideas, to the attendees of the W3C Workshop on Web Applications and
Compound Documents for inspiration, and to the #mrt crew, the
#mrt.no crew, the #whatwg crew, and the
cabal for their ideas and support.
